47%

Work Step by Step

The new number is higher than the original number, so we use the equation for percent increase. The equation for percent increase is the following: $(\frac{new amount - original amount}{original amount})\times100$. Thus, we plug in the numbers to find: $(\frac{301-205}{205})\times100\approx47$%
